10 things I love

In no particular order, here are some things I love. Since I've already gone on and on about certain things I love, I won't mention them again here. Or at least I will try not to!


1. Target. Specifically, the new(ish) Target here in Martinsburg, WV. It's made such a big difference to living in this town. Not just because it's shiny and new, but because it serves as my office water cooler/ break room. When you work from home, it's important to have a place to go where you can meet friends. Mind you, it's convenient that there is a Starbucks right inside the door (oops, said I wasn't going to mention that). Lots of nice people work there too.
2. Jessica. Yep, she's a little crazy and a little kookie but she's a good friend and she's mine!
3. St Joseph School. Evidently I'd been smoking a little crack last year when William attended A Different School. So glad we made the move. Love everything about St Joe's.

4. St Joseph Church. Loving this place. Love the way it makes me feel. This feels like the beginning of an important chapter of my life.
5. Skype. Super amazing technology. It has truly made a difference over the past few months while Troy has been so ill. It's not the same as being there, but it really helps.
6. LL McKee Salon in Winchester. Even if I didn't have a hair appointment, I would seriously consider just going and hanging out for the day in this place. 
7. Judi Johnson's house in Livonia, Michigan. And her husband Bob. Oh, that doesn't sound right... 
8. My iPhone. Once there was a time when I didn't want - much less need - such a device. Obviously, I was nuts.
9. Facebook. Love it. 
10. My husband. He gets mad as hell about dumb stuff but I love him to bits anyway.
